Sugar Bowl 2006

Atlanta hosted perhaps it’s only Sugar Bowl as the Superdome was still unfit from Katrina to host the game. UGA got behind early and almost rallied but got duped on a fake punt at the end of the game.
Question by flnovgirl: What are the Florida Gators‘ chances at a SEC championship and a national championship now that they have lost?
Ok, so I just watched Ole Miss beat my Florida Gators and I am ticked. I want to know what you think. If Florida can win the rest of its games (this includes a win against Georgia) do they still have a shot at the SEC championship or even the national title? How will BCS voters view today’s loss?

Answer by Zack G
The SEC is still very competitive, there are still a lot of games to go. Their national championship hopes are probably over, but SEC championship is definitely still within reach.

At the Georgia Dome in Atlanta for the 2006 SEC Championship…Florida beat Arkansas!!!
The 2010 Southeastern Conference Football Championship will be a matchup between Auburn University and the University of South Carolina. The big game is scheduled for Saturday, December 4 at 4pm at the Georgia Dome in downtown Atlanta. This is the 19th year of the SEC Championship game. The championship began in 1992 when the Southeastern Conference expanded to include Arkansas and South Carolina. The 2010 SEC Championship game pits the Eastern Division Champion South Carolina Gamecocks against the Western Division Champion Auburn Tigers.
The University of South Carolina is one of the oldest public universities in the country. Founded in 1801, its flagship campus is located in Columbia. Total enrollment at all its campuses exceeds 44,000 students, and the University offers 324 degree programs. South Carolina’s athletics teams are known as the Gamecocks. South Carolina’s football team joined the Southeastern Conference in 1992, after having been an Independent team for 20 years. Their head coach is Steve Spurrier, who is in his sixth year with the team. Spurrier previously spent twelve years as head coach of the Florida Gators and was head coach of the NFL Washington Redskins in 2002-03. The Gamecock’s last bowl appearance was the 2010 Papa John Bowl, where they lost to UConn. The team’s record this year is 8-3, 5-3 SEC.
Auburn University was founded in 1856 as East Alabama Male College. After several name changes over the years, the institution became known as Auburn University in 1960. Auburn has an enrollment of nearly 25,000 students and offers more than 140 majors. Auburn athletics teams are known as the Tigers. Auburn’s head coach is Gene Chizik, who is in his second year with the university. Auburn appeared last year in the Outback Bowl, where they beat Northwestern. The Tigers have had an impressive 2010 season. Their record is 11-0, 7-0 SEC.
Auburn has won six SEC Championship titles, the last one in 2004. Currently Auburn is ranked #2 in the nation in all four major polls. South Carolina, currently ranked at #17, has never won the SEC title. The winner of the SEC Championship will receive an automatic invitation to a BCS Bowl game. South Carolina has never made a BCS Bowl appearance. Auburn played in the 2005 BCS Sugar Bowl, where they beat Virginia Tech. The game promises to be an exciting one for Auburn and South Carolina fans.

Elisha Archibald "Archie" Manning III (born May 19, 1949) is a former American football quarterback in the National Football League, playing for the New Orleans Saints from 1971 to 1982, then for the Houston Oilers and Minnesota Vikings. He is the father of current Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, current New York Giants starting quarterback Eli Manning, and former Ole Miss receiver Cooper Manning.
Archie Manning attended the University of Mississippi and was the starting quarterback at Ole Miss for three years. In the first national prime time broadcast of a college football game (1969), Manning threw for 436 yards and three touchdowns, also rushing for 104 yards, in a 33–32 loss to Alabama. That 540-yard performance was still tied for the SEC record for most total yards in a game until September 29, 2012 when Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel accumulated 553 yards against Arkansas.
In 1969, Manning was Mississippi Sportsman of the Year and recipient of the Nashville Banner Trophy as Most Valuable Player in the Southeastern Conference. He was fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1969 and third in 1970. Manning was inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989. Manning’s legacy is honored to this day on the campus of Ole Miss where the speed limit is eighteen miles per hour in honor of Manning’s jersey number.

Question by bfguitarhero: Wouldn’t an LSU vs. Alabama Championship game defeat the purpose?
Now, I understand we’re at the point where an LSU/Alabama championship game is almost necessary, since every other team in college football feels the need to throw away its chance to play in the championship game (Oklahoma, Oklahoma St., Oregon). However, the entire year people are arguing over whether or not the SEC is the best conference in football, and if two teams from that conference play in the National Championship game, then there is no way of comparing the SEC to other conferences. Forget the whole rematch idea, doesn’t having 2 teams from the same conference in the Championship game defeat the purpose of having a championship game in the first place?
Best answer:
Answer by Kobe,Lebron,Wade,Carmelo Fan
Yes
It should be LSU vs either Oklahoma state, Houston or Virginia Tech
